I've been considering making one from fiberglass for my suburban, but haven't had the time to get to it yet. If you find a place that makes them I'd be interested, but I've done a lot of searching and found nothing :-(

As far as I know, nobody makes any for our trucks.
This thread on another board is the closest I've ever come to actually seeing any possibility of there being guage pods. I don't think anything every came of it though.

Have never seen one for our year of truck, but SunPro makes a universal model that can be trimmed and shaped with a hair dryer. It is a dual pod that accepts 2 or 2-1/15 inch guages. I found this thing a t the JC-WHITNEY web page for $26.99. Might be worth a try.

Similar to the thread above, I also have contacted Lotek in the past and was told the same thing. There is a minimum order and they need to have an example piece of trim to work from. I had a Lotek 2 1/16" triple gauge pod in my S-15, and it was OK. My only complaint was that it didn't have the mounting holes pre-drilled.
I ended up butchering my K5's dash and installing four aftermarket 2 1/16" gauges in the dash bezel. I can't say I'm exactly proud of how it looks, but at least all my gauges work now. Just a thought.

If you look for a gauge pod who go on the dash board try banks, they have a nice one with a base is needed, the top run for around 20 buck if my memory is good, good luck.

I recently found a website that sells them for our 1982-1992 model trucks for the pillar, 2 pod, 2-1/16" gauges, part number AM17103, priced at $52.95... They have all kinds of restoration parts covering our trucks... Give them a look...

I believe that is a misprint that part number is an autometer 2-1/16" Triple Gauge Pillar, for Chevy/GM Full Size Truck 95-99
